Supreme Court directs 7 states to enhance retirement age of judicial officers to 62 years

The Supreme Court has directed seven states to raise judicial retirement age to sixty-two years. Judicial officers who retired after March thirty-first can re-join if not employed elsewhere. Other states and Union Territories must reconsider enhancing the retirement age for judges. This move aims to retain experienced judicial talent and improve access to justice. Suitability assessments will ensure only competent officers continue in service.
